glutinous rice snack - 糯米飯

While browsing through my old photo collection I came across these. Glutinous rice is eaten in all Asian countries and there are may ways of preparing it. Unlike the common rice which most often is kept plain to accompany dishes that is flavorful, glutenous rice most often is prepare with seasoning and other ingredients so the dish stands on its own.

with chinese pork sausage and toasted peanut

i used a thai bamboo steamer to steam the rice plain first

once the rice is steamed to just al dente I add the other ingredients that is cooked separately. a bit of oil (pork lard or chicken fat preferred for flavor), a dash of good soy sauce (often with dark soy sauce for the color and sweeter taste), and a sprinkle of chopped scallion and a snack is done. danger with this snack is you bound to eat too much if you don't have strong will power.

this one has chinese pork sausage, braised pork belly, shitake mushroom, and toasted peanuts
